Michael Kiwanuka

25 May 2022

Michael Kiwanuka’s third album, KIWANUKA, is out through Polydor Records. It arrives to much critical acclaim as one of Britain’s most talented songwriters resets the bar once again.

KIWANUKA is the follow-up to Michael’s number 1 second album, Love & Hate, released back in July 2016 that resonated broadly both critically and in the public’s affections, netting the British musician his second Mercury Prize nomination and his second and third BRIT nominations too.

Recorded in New York, LA and London, Michael returned to the studio with Danger Mouse and Inflo, the same production team that combined so magnificently on Love & Hate, KIWANUKA finds a new assuredness in Michael’s writing, and takes the basic sonic blueprint of that last record to a dizzying new realm.
